Description
After moving around a lot, my wife Agnès and I (Guy) felt in love with this small family vineyard and settled in about 15 years ago.
We make olive oil, fresh vegetables as much as possible and canned for the winter, jam from multiple fruits, sirup, etc...
We try to be as much self-sufficient as possible and all product from the estate is organic.
I take care of the vineyard and like to restore old cars or prepare motos for another roadtrip. Agnès like to spend time in the garden (or in the little preparation workshop), take care of the chickens and when she's not running or swimming, she enjoy a good book.
The house is surrounded by vines, woods, and many trails that you can enjoy by foot or by bike.
During your stay, you will be accomodated in the house of my son, with 3 bedrooms and a big terrace, just restored and full equiped or, if it's not available in our own house with separate bedroom and bathroom.
